Marvel Snap Tournament Infinity Gauntlet | Semi-Finals

[@gazb0075]

Jeff’s strategical thinking is next level. Good luck in the final, Jeff. You deserve to win!

[@lejuj9810]

That's just facts man

[@jasonZoo123]

Lets Go. I hope he wins. He is super good at snap and i enjoy watching his content the most.

[@Thatrollingmaster69]

Please do more of these tournaments in the future! I really enjoy the format, the players and the casting as well!

[@ertai4k]

Hilarious to see the commentators talk about how bad Shuri's lab is for Hoogland, only for him to immediatley snap it and make them look dumb

[@用生命吃瓜]

Maybe playing too many Shuri thanos deck make the best marvel snap player lost some fundamental knowledge on the effect of bounce deck

[@quackat1110]

Yeah, I lost them right there. Too much meta deck is like numbing ppl mind to think anything more than going online and copy deck codes

[@cregkly5444]

And then KM corrected himself just a few minutes later when he saw Jeff's play line. On the surface I think most people's first thought would be that it was better for Freddy.

[@用生命吃瓜]

@@cregkly5444 And being a self-proclaimed Best marvel snap player shouldn't have only surface knowledge. Don't you think so?

[@davemat21]

Completely agree, clearly not played as much Bounce as you'd think. As soon as I saw Shuri's lab I know from experience how strong that can be. Embarrassing

[@mehmetalieser3789]

Freddy and Jeff are both really good players. It was a joy seeing them trying to read each other.

[@tarekt8427]

Jeff not only due to winning but due to how he played might have taken the lead as best snap player. His snapping is both awesome and psychological warfare. brilliant stuff.

[@waranddeath6936]

Jeff is just a REALLY REALLY amazing player, WOW

[@whoispavman]

I think that for all tournaments going forward he should be introduced as Jeff 'The Hitman' Hoogland

[@RoqbinReality]

Jeff has always loved played these decks he has worked on tuning himself over the top meta decks. Turns out knowing your deck and your opponent's is often better than simply just having a better deck. Really enjoyed the commentary guys, this is a fun tournament!

[@geeekplays6154]

Man that was a series of stressful games, really on the edge of my seat here! Love the surprising hidden power that the Bounce Deck can dish out. It is so hard to think about the possibilities that you have to play around! It's really interesting to watch high level plays and decision making in Marvel Snap. Hoping to watch more tournaments in the future!

[@MegaBe4m]

Is there a video for the finals? Been checking everyday

[@patj2110]

Jeff has been dominating this whole tournament. Playing that deck great. Can't wait to see him add kitty pride too

[@Arsonan]

I'm interested if he will switch DH out for something else after the Thanos meta

[@Kameo-jq3qo]

@@Arsonan why? That would make Black Widow and Korg bad. Also some Locations add cards to the deck like Subtarranea, Lechuguilla, Vibranium Mines and Triskellion prevents a draw. So you can still have insane hawks...

[@Arsonan]

@@Kameo-jq3qo Black Widow and Korg can be replaced with Yondu and Scorpion and if you make your list around location variants it's not gonna feel good when they don't show up.

[@Kameo-jq3qo]

@@Arsonan scorpion isnt good anymore. 1 power does nothing... 1 draw is huge. And drawing a rock or killing a random card is also a big deal.. watch these games and u know why

[@Joe-y9t3w]

Jeff vs Casanova was insane. What a match.

[@quackat1110]

It's actually good to see Jeff completely obliterated that guy. The smile in the end, I can see Jeff saying in his mind "get fcked Thanos playerrr". Those Thanos and Shuri players, imagine coming to an invitational tournament and you bring a the exact fking meta deck 1-1, not one sub what so ever.. so much creativity!

[@krodis735]

I felt like Freddy would have had those games against Hoogland if he had been smarter with throwing priority. Hoogland is too smart to leave himself vulnerable for a turn to killmonger. The only way you're going to pin him down is if you lose priority on turn six and killmonger.

[@markblancher6801]

I agree completely. Jeff is playing at such a high level you really have to be perfect to beat him. Don’t forget that Jeff snaps so early in his games that it has to put pressure on his opponents over the course of a series. He seems terrifying to go up against in battle mode

[@louisfriend9323]

point is that most decks cannot not take priority against bishop angela. darkhawk strong against all the thanos decks. jeff made the perfect counter deck.

[@DLSacks]

Jeff's deck seems more than just an anti-meta deck. It's a super high-skill deck that depends on anti-priority. I also love that he blew the game with Lamentis and Sacred Timeline. It was a great example of playing your position (way ahead on tournament cubes) that led to him holding back.

[@LOKITYZ]

That deck that Jeff's using is one of the most confusing and complicated decks to play. It seems simple and obvious but a lot of times I just mess up somehow and lose. Jeff plays it so flawlessly. I've saved a lot to finally get a Darkhawk so I have the exact same deck and I lose a lot with it. It is fun to play, though. You feel like a tactician when you manage pull it off.

[@carlegaier9087]

Great tournament, love watching the bounce deck bully Thanos!

[@markblancher6801]

Hoogland is looking so strong. You can make an argument that his deck isn’t good compared to meta decks as the commenters themselves haven’t found success with it. Yet Hoogland is crushing with it. What a monster

[@mudkipmilk]

Tournament meta is a bit different than standard ladder. But Jeff is definitely piloting the deck to the best of its ability.

[@imma5269]

Sick tournament so far. Jeff is playing crazy well

[@patj2110]

Do we really have to wait 11 days for next one. What a momentum killer

[@cregkly5444]

The games are played offline and recorded by the competitors. The games are then put together with casters adding the commentary. The players need time to play the next round of games, submit the raw video and have all the postprocessing done.

[@Meatbun]

Jeff made the commentators sound silly in his match vs. Freddybabes. Quite comical really to watch and see unfold.

[@billepperson2662]

5:51 "Wow, Shuri's lab. That's HORRIBLE for bounce!"... 🤣

[@jurajojo2543]

28:00 This final turn is very interesting, as Freddy could have played Zero into Titania right and beat Jeff's final play, however, it would have lost to the play Jeff was thinking about at first.

[@MegaLojay]

Funny to see 2 dudes who already lost out not having any clue to Jeff's brilliant play. Talked Freddy up while he was getting crushed. Easy to see why they aren't still playing. Lol

[@Meatbun]

curious to know if the tournament concluded before the 3/21 patch or if the integrity of the tournament has been lessened because of the balance changes.

[@AGAZZAGAGhaziAnwar]

When will the final be held?

[@DevineCourage]

Lol exactly, I’m confused

[@cosmonautagt]

Congrats, Jeff! Been following your channel for a while, and this shows even more that you put your money where your mouth is... and it pays off.

[@chobibbo]

HOOGLANDIAAAAAAA🎉🎉🎉🎉 Great games though for real, from Cass and Freddy. Dera too, got out Aero’d by a non-Aero but it fell that way and that’s that, still great plays. Love Brode casting the final, lots can be improved on by the casters though. KMBest casted his matches best.

[@deborah9751]

when is the final?

[@Wildhorn666]

@27:44 Why falcon didnt bring Iceman back in hand?

[@mattowens861]

His hand is full so it can’t bounce

[@Zeekfox]

Ben Brode making a casting mistake during round 1 of Hoogland vs Casanova. "If he had not played Soul Stone, Devil Dinosaur would have been bigger." But Soul Stone draws a replacement card. That's why Lockjaw is after Chavez in the hand. No worries though. These mistakes happen.

[@blagerthorpnonersense1894]

Like how the self proclaimed “best snap player in the world” didn’t catch how Hoogland whooped multiple Thanos decks already lulz.

[@jaxamillian1]

Jeff's deck is too much for him to understand

[@quackat1110]

Yeah that dude jusy grind to a point that he basically facing bots all day and the points keep going up from there. That's why I see Jeff just intentionally keep his ranking low so he can keep his mind sharp.

[@junkai6877]

Who? Casanova?

[@cregkly5444]

!insecure

[@richardsuplee8137]

I watched all of Jeff's matches and the majority he played against were off meta decks. Also KM Best said he doesn't know if Jeffrey's deck is good against the meta and said shuri might be too big for the deck. Which is the decks bad match up, although the deck is good against the other meta deck in Thanos due to dark Hawk.

[@boezou]

How is this tournament going to handle the new patch nerfs? Are folks going to rebuild new decks? It'd kind of be like completely starting a new tournament, but it seems crazy to continue playing the same decklists with a bunch of nerfed cards.

[@dandimit8463]

Great stuff! I’m learning tons.

[@pengala2708]

Hoog is 🔥🔥

[@giantermite7039]

I still don't get the Dera didn't double the Red Skull and play it right, and play She Hulk left to bring back Titania. All I can think is he forgot Red Skull had been leeched, thinking it would be 30 minus 8 vs the She Hulk plus one-drop which was 20 plus 3.

[@derajn]

Was just a mistake. Was thinking about aero being a losing play so I tried to see if I could play 4 cards to block aero but obviously couldn't. Then didn't think I would lose to anything but aero and made the suboptimal play. Was kicking myself the second I saw the Thanos.

[@giantermite7039]

@@derajn Ah yes, gotcha. Man, the number of times I've made even simpler mistakes in this infernal game... :)

[@alexmiller4055]

Dang Jeff is a monster and that deck is nasty ggs Goodluck to everyone

wheres the finals?

[@nelsonbaker88]

When are the finals! Im so excited to see this upcoming match up! 😂

Go Hooglandia!

I hope Jeff wins this tourney he's probably my favorite snap youtuber

Hoooooooooogland!!! Let's go Jeff!

[@AshTreeDweller]

GG Jeff! Thanos getting stuffed!

[@BrentNeal1979]

So is the rest of this tournament ever going to be played/uploaded? We're three days from an entirely new season and the first upload was 21 days ago.

[@bennisbranch6976]

Let’s go Jeff! Show everybody that dark hawk!

[@joaopaulosantos3422]

Oh man, only March 31st? I was hoping it would this week. Anyways, nice production. Can't wait to have more of those

[@IIToneAII]

Caring, format, and graphics are all on point. Loved this tourney and would love to see more like it! Kudos to the production team! 👍

[@chopperchuck8947]

Jeff is a card master in any game..i first found him when HEX was still out and learned so much from him.. go Hoogland!

[@ThatKiwiDudeTV]

What a great tournament, I hope any tournaments going forward maintain this snappy (pun intended) format.

[@mudkipmilk]

Funny how Brode still calls it "Battlecry" instead of "On Reveal" 😂

[@TonyContiniProductions]

Hoogland battle - 5:30

[@用生命吃瓜]

I was so confused when they keep saying not playing the soul stone win the game. Dude that soul stone make you draw a card

[@FilmColossus]

It’s legit insane this isn’t done yet

[@micxiao]

wait, why does Washington DC not buff the demons in the winner's semifinals match?

[@easy9283]

It did its just that bast put them to 3 so they went to 6 thanks to Washington DC but minus 1 cause of soul stone so they stayed to 5

[@asecretboss]

Blevins and KM did a great commentary

[@aseulgi]

If Dera’s match taught me anything it’s that Leech is incredibly oppressive. What a filthy card.

[@sva_alb8299]

Hello fron Indonesia guys 😁😁 Lesgo hooglandia 💪💪

[@paulhajducky467]

Listening to Ben Brode commentary and laugh is my favourite part 😂❤

[@bloomarsbar]

Funny thing is bouncing a leeched card removes the leech effect, happened to me earlier

[@tremkl]

I totally understand that it’s a very unique format to be casting, and no one has experience casting it, so this isn’t an insult as much as an explanation. The casters really need a better understanding of the rules of the format. When Jeff and Freddy were 6 to 5 and playing for 4 cubes, Freddy had NO reason to snap. A snap would mean the difference between Jeff being at 2 health or 1, which doesn’t matter. Freddy snapping would have put them all in with no benefit.

[@billyhall2551]

Let's GOO JEFF, let's GO!

[@FunkMasterFinch]

Soul stone drew a card, didn't cost Dino any points...

[@crackedizzy]

Let's go Jeff!!!!!

[@guesmouh6814]

Really loving the tourny, marvel snap pro scene is better with fun content creators then actual pros as they creators give these tournys much needed personalities and people to cheer for.

[@swedishZ0mBi3]

Jeff is crazy good, as an infinite player I feel like I still dont understand the game as well as he does and would not wanna match him in snap :p

[@roverover01]

I love how Ben Brode enjoys everything laugh it out loud and being such a happy go lucky

[@Jon-ey4el]

That is a mad length of time to be dragging out a tournament. You're going to have an patch in the middle of it so how does that work. Sort it out. Get it recorded over a weekend.

[@edfries2002]

From what Jeff said on stream today players will be able to adjust decks post nerfs/buffs

[@djkaova]

I just want to know where I can get these fire snap remixes

[@simonb4689]

Need better commentators than what we got in the semis. Both clowns not understanding that playing soul stone didn't change the stats on Dino...

[@hyperjopee8106]

Commentary @ 1:06:18 is pure gold! 😂

[@badaboum2]

40:51 30 power Red Skull right and She-Hulk left wins there. I see no reason to play it cute like Dera did, he just striaght up played less power than he could have for no benefit that I can see.

[@ivo2400]

Great games, amazing tournament

[@nusku74]

"That would of been tragic" * thunderous laughter follows *

[@mcordeus]

So SAD to watch DERAJN lose... he was my favorite after Cozy's fall.

[@Kpt.]

Dear Ben Brode and Nathan, Soul Stone On Reveal: Draw a card. Ongoing: ...

[@Kameo-jq3qo]

Still dont get why Der played 20 Power She-Hulk, Armor and Cosmo... thats 23 Power in the She-Hulk Lane and the other was won anyway... if he had played Redskull middle and she hulk to take Titania back its an easy win..

[@spadam0]

I don't really love KMBest and Blevins casting together, while individually they are both good, together they are a little too technical and I have a bit of a hard time telling their voices apart. This is why it's so great to have one of the female casters, or some of the men who have unique voices.

[@giantermite7039]

It's impossible to get too angry about any Brode meta mistakes, after hearing how damn upbeat and goofy this guy is. Will never take his name in vain again!

[@markwalker7286]

Hearing blevins and kmbest trash Jeff deck because they can't play it. Is sad that they have put down another player cause they can't play his deck to a high level. Especially from KM because he brought the two "best" deck in snap and didn't even win a match.

[@cregkly5444]

Can you quote the bit where they trash it? KM called it an innovation, and a deck that can do powerful things. Blevins said it looked bad on paper, but works when played by someone skilled.

[@richardsuplee8137]

Jeff agrees the deck is a low power deck and plays it most importantly because its fun on top of being reasonable.

[@alexluu1115]

This is why people run wave in their thanos decks lol 😆 would’ve shut down all this bounce stuff from happening.

[@dawidjagusiak]

Cassadin 😮

[@thegamersemporium]

casanova is the xBlyzes of snap. bit of a rager

[@divemasterz52]

these casters clearly lost for a reason; their commentary is off at almost literally every possible moment

[@azazeltheuncanny6118]

Wow this commentators are bad

[@johndonovan2911]

Thanos games are so boring. Cant wait for the nerfs.

[@sva_alb8299]

I have deck can take down almost all deck except thanos ye its good to take down Thanos if the leech don't hit the core card Only leech can broke my combo nerf Thanos? Ithink no They must nerf leech i think
